messed up that you can literally be better and nicer in every way and the adventuring party will still be like "waaa its a shapeshifter waaaa the real whatstheirface would never say that" like ok maybe i am a picture perfect copy of your friend that i imprisoned beneath the earth and replaced when you werent looking. so what. maybe they were a cunt. maybe i thought youd appreciate an improved version of your friend. with awesome eldritch tendrils.

Ok the US Attorney General says that she will remove ICE if MN drops all our sanctuary laws, complies with ICE, hands over all our SNAP, Medicaid and voter rolls. They demand control over our voter registration so they can "ensure free and fair elections".

They want to control our elections.

I am dead serious people call your representatives. Get volunteering. Get protesting. Get LOUD.

They released a letter full of straight up lies. Spread the truth. MAKE NOISE.

How interesting. How very interesting. They rejected my Blaze of this post.

Well, y'all. Make of this what you will, eh?

[a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark]

Then I guess we'll just have to Blaze it the old fashioned way, eh?

Had a dream that Sabrina carpenter died and everyone was super sad about it but, unwilling to be upstaged, taylor swift flew her private jet directly into a block of apartments killing herself and hundreds of innocent people and everyone called it the gay 9/11

Heartbreaking: product that annoyingly advertises itself as "life changing" is unfortunately pretty fucking good

[catboybiologist]

Pre transition, it was "haha your nose looks really fucked up"

Post transition, it was "omg your strong nose is gorgeous and makes you look beautifully Hellenic"

At no point in this process did someone say "hey you might have a like. Really fucking deviated septum and that's the reason your breathing is weird when you sleep"

[rainbowgod666]

How the fuck did you figure that out and can i get some similar epiphany because i felt the need for a full-body scan for about two years already

[catboybiologist]

I'm gonna be honest, I saw the term "deviated septum" online, thought "I kinda know what that is but I'm curious lemme look into it more" and then I saw a medical diagram that looked EXACTLY like my nostrils and I was like. Uh. Oh. Oh fuck.

[catboybiologist]

Image I found on duckduckgo as an example of a deviated septum (source link is broken otherwise I'd put the source here):

The resting state of my nostrils:

[catboybiologist]

Also, to be clear, I don't view this as diagnostic at all. But when one potential solution is like a 20 dollar, non-invasive thing that I can just test out with no way to hurt myself, my general approach is fuckit and experiment with it. So now I just gotta think about whether I wanna do anything with this information.

[catboybiologist]

Another thing: my nose crooks from one side to the other and I literally sometimes physically try and adjust it to stay straight

And throughout my life everyone has either been bullying me about it or "yas queen"ing me about it and no one was like "hey do you sleep well?" like JDKFUJSNANSNSNSNDNND

[tpwrtrmnky]

Y'know, to me "lost media" means "no known physical copies exist and it can't be pirated anywhere", not just "currently unavailable for streaming"

[tpwrtrmnky]

A file you can just find and download with minimal issue if you're computer literate isn't lost, actually. It's endangered, and it will be lost if nobody bothers to learn how to do this stuff, but it's not lost yet.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Like if you're grouping "there was only one copy of this episode of the beloved 60s tv show that aired before recording was possible, and they taped over it to save money while filming a commercial encouraging people to put ham in jello" with "the only known copies exist on several thousand hard drives seeding a torrent but like, I'm scared of using a VPN" that's your problem, please don't erode the meaning of this term.

[maxxie-or-smth]

imagine looking at my blog to try to find more out about me as a person and all you see is some bullshitttttt

[tpwrtrmnky]

The AI bubble bursting will mean that every product currently propped up by the tech industry doing circular self-investments has to be supplanted by an alternative that actually makes more money than it costs to run, or disappear with no replacement.

That doesn't mean literally every application of machine learning or language models goes away forever, because machine learning and generative models existed before Silicon Valley decided they were the infinite money algorithm, and will still be around after they stop thinking that. "Generate ten videos of cat people working in the baby mines for free" or "have the chatbot generate a summary every time I google" are not sticking around.

Roughly ten years from now, we'll have completely different approaches to using machine learning-based software, based on the applications of these algorithms that actually make sense given the resources used. They'll likely look a lot like the applications of machine learning that already existed before OpenAI, because those were motivated by finding places where these models were useful first, then developing the models afterwards.

The smuggest asshole alive will act like Sam Altman was vindicated in the end, but he will not have built Computer God, he will have been the figurehead of one of the worst investment bubbles in US history.

[tpwrtrmnky]

You have to separate the tech from the Silicon Valley hype ecosystem, is the thing. They've been betting on new iterations of "buy up ridiculous numbers of GPUs and then run an Infinite Money Algorithm on them" for the entire 20s so far.

The last few were promising to replace money and turn all video games into investment opportunities by putting all your in-game items on the blockchain. This one is making even more ludicrous promises like replace all human intellectual labor because they happened to land on an algorithm that vaguely resembles something scientists have gotten results out of.

[roofon]

The dot com bubble bursting didn’t mean people stopped making websites for things. It just meant people didn’t start investing in you just because you were making a website.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Yeah and like there was an internet both before and after the bubble, but extremely era-specific behaviors like "we're rebranding our corporation to [name].com, give us money" didn't make it out of there alive.

[fipindustries]

if i ever become a showrunner i will actually do the fake series finalle followed by the true ending where the popular gay ship is confirmed just so i can forever poison fandom with the idea that it can happen for real and then they will truly never let that hope go for all other subsequent shows they watch henceforth. just for the sake of making the world a worse place

[z3ncat]

You have to make sure to let it slip in interviews that you did this because you're fulfilling the dream of your unnamed mentor(s), former showrunner(s) of an unnamed beloved series, who had also filmed a gay true ending actual final episode but hadn't been allowed to release it or even mention it.

[segamascott]

it's always nice to look for the silver lining in these kinds of situations :)

[rintezukas]

gamecube was the best designed controller of all time exclusively for the button cluster that gave you easy thumb roll access to all buttons but also gave you the a button as a thumb rest (because it’s the one you press the most) and took into account the frequency with which each button gets pressed in its design rather than doing the stupid diamond design that gives no button priority and rests your thumb in the shitty blank space between buttons

[rintezukas]

The Diamond Button Layout Is The Bleeding Stump Where Form Cut Function’s Head Off

[hunter-rodrigez]

Also, the holes for the thumbsticks are octagon-shaped.

When you push a stick all the way to the edge, it will lock into one of these corners. This helps with stuff like walking in a perfectly straight line or steering all the way to one side, which is great for people who struggle with fine motor skills.

Like young kids, aka the target demographic for the gamecube, for example.
